In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Giver of Mercy. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He created, from the evil of darkness when it falls, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbin-nas. Malikin-nas. Ilahin-nas. Min sharril-waswasil-khannas. Alladhi yuwaswisu fi sudurin-nas. Minal-jinnati wan-nas.

Different sources and settings
Quran 23:97–98 contains requests for refuge from devils. Other cards come from reports about stopping at a place, morning and evening remembrance, protection for children or fear of harm from people.
The short surahs have their own Quranic references and evidence for particular practices. A source for bedtime recitation does not automatically establish the same method for every feared situation.
Preserving counts and conditions
Some reports give a number of repetitions; others do not. Read the card and its explanation before transferring a familiar count from another routine.
Reported protection should not be repackaged by this site as a promise that no reader can ever experience harm. Supplication and appropriate precautions belong together, without blaming a person who suffers injury or loss.
Choosing a relevant starting point
Identify the actual setting: travel accommodation, an ordinary morning, a child’s needs or a concrete threat. Learn a short relevant text accurately and keep its source label available.
If there is an immediate danger, seek safety and appropriate help. Remembrance does not require remaining in an unsafe environment, confronting a suspected person or abandoning medical or legal support.
Common questions
Do these prayers diagnose magic or the evil eye? No diagnostic conclusion follows from this collection. Must I recite every card together? No single compulsory sequence is established. Can I use a general prayer for refuge? Preserve its wording and distinguish general use from an occasion-specific narration. Where can I learn more? The travel, evil-eye and harm pages separate those particular contexts.
